Balance is a big deal for me. I'm not as productive as I know I can be when simply doing too much at once. Believe me, being a master at multitasking isn't all it's cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong, multitasking is essential, and personally, I know how to multitask if/when needed, but it's not my preference because something important always gets missed, no matter how good you are at it. So, today my words to you are plain and simple: Make every effort to achieve balance throughout this holiday season and beyond. Whether at work, at home, among communities of faith, and/or throughout the community at large, do your very best to enjoy the season.

In the words of Becky Hemsley, "You can't spread light if you're burnt out." Becky reminds and encourages each of us not to burn ourselves out trying to spread light this festive season. That is wise advice because burnout can diminish our joy, threaten our spiritual, mental, and emotional health, and rob us of our ability to stay focused.

Let's enjoy the holiday season rather than suffer through it.
